Currency traders are strapping in for what’s shaping up to be a make-or-break week on the global stage. With the world’s monetary policy elite—from the Federal Reserve and the Swiss National Bank to the Bank of Japan and Bank of England—about to reveal their latest moves, the FX market is alive with speculation, recalibrated bets, and no shortage of nerves.
By Sagar Dua United States: The US dollar is extending its gains against the euro, yen, and pound as geopolitical risks intensify. Tensions in the Middle East have persisted for five consecutive days, with market participants increasingly anxious about potential US involvement. President Donald Trump has called for American citizens to evacuate Tehran, convened the National Security Council, and cut short his G7 summit trip—a sequence that triggered early-morning selling in the dollar.
By John Isige Tensions between OpenAI and Microsoft have reached a critical stage, with the artificial intelligence leader reportedly weighing an antitrust complaint against its strategic partner, according to insiders cited by the Wall Street Journal.
By John Isige The crypto project Tron is set to make its debut on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange through a reverse merger (RTO) with SRM Entertainment, as reported by the Financial Times citing inside sources. The listing comes just four months after the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) paused its investigation into Tron founder Justin Sun.
By Sagar Dua The US dollar is weakening against the euro, yen, and pound. Heightened fears of escalation in the Israel-Iran conflict are driving a flight to safe-haven assets, with new demand for oil-exporter currencies following Israeli strikes on energy infrastructure. As the US continues its transition to an oil-exporting model—supplying much of the EU’s hydrocarbon demand—the greenback receives some support. Meanwhile, all eyes are on the upcoming FOMC decision (Wednesday, 20:00 GMT+2). Despite recent macro data pointing to a slowing economy and ongoing political pressure from President Donald Trump, CME FedWatch Tool now prices a 99.8% probability that the Fed will hold rates steady at 4.25–4.50%.
By Sagar Dua The US dollar weakened against the euro, yen, and pound following the conclusion of high-stakes US-China trade talks in London. The two-day meeting resulted in a framework agreement, restoring conditions reached in mid-May: both parties agreed to lower mutual tariffs for 90 days, with US rates at 10.0% and Chinese rates at 30.0%. Notably, the White House failed to secure all objectives—China retained the right to restrict semiconductor material exports, leaving room for further negotiations in the near future. Markets barely responded to a slight uptick in the May CPI (from 2.3% to 2.4%), which continues to pressure the US economy as the Fed maintains its current monetary policy.
By Sagar Dua According to the latest State of Crypto quarterly report published by Coinbase, blockchain adoption among Fortune 500 companies has surged to 60%. The findings, highlighted by The Block, reflect growing momentum in the corporate embrace of blockchain technology.
By Sagar Dua The U.S. dollar is weakening against the euro and yen but strengthening against the British pound. Investors are closely monitoring U.S.–China trade negotiations, which have already touched on export restrictions for rare earth elements and advanced technologies—issues that continue to concern global automakers. President Donald Trump positively assessed the outcome of the second negotiation round in London, stating he is receiving “only good reports” from his team. According to analysts, expectations for the full removal of comprehensive 10% import tariffs are premature. More likely, the U.S. will maintain a 40% tariff rate on Chinese goods, but even incremental changes in these agreements could drive renewed dollar strength.
By Sagar Dua As a new trading week kicks off, global markets are abuzz with key developments shaping currency trends and investor sentiment. Let’s break down the latest news from the US, Europe, Asia, and the commodities sector, with a close eye on how these events are moving the world’s top assets.
